Top Tips
Melt Kinder Bars Gently: Use a double boiler or microwave the Kinder bars in short intervals (15-20 seconds) to melt them slowly. Stir frequently to prevent the chocolate from burning or becoming grainy.
Coat Evenly: Once the chocolate is fully melted, quickly add the Rice Krispies and stir thoroughly to ensure that each piece is evenly coated with the melted chocolate for a consistent flavour in every bite.
Work Quickly: The melted Kinder bars can start to harden as they cool. To make shaping easier, work quickly to mix and transfer the mixture into the mold or tray before it starts to set.
Use a Lined Tray: Line your tray or mold with parchment paper or lightly grease it before adding the mixture. This prevents sticking and makes it easier to remove the bars once they’ve set.
Press Firmly but Gently: When transferring the mixture into the tray, press it down firmly with a spatula or the back of a spoon to ensure it sets into a solid block, but be careful not to crush the Rice Krispies to maintain their crunch.
